Lopolight 2nm 135° Stern Light, horizontal mount, FB base w/2.5 meter cable
The Lopolight 301-005-FB is a 2 nautical mile stern light with a 135° white sector – 67.5° either side of dead astern. It mounts horizontally on the FB (flat base) POM mounting system, on a deck, coachroof or other horizontal surface. Housing: silver or black anodised aluminium.
Application & COLREG
COLREG Rule 22 asks for a 2 nm stern light on every vessel under 50 m, sail or power, so this one light covers anything from a small day boat to a 50 m yacht – Lopolight specifies it for vessels up to 50 m. Only over 50 m does the stern light have to reach 3 nm. Mount it as near the stern as practicable, on the centreline.
Complete the Navigation Light Set
Under COLREG a vessel underway shows sidelights and a stern light; a power-driven vessel adds a masthead light forward. Matching Lopolight lights:
